As of publication, this list includes San Francisco, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, Sonoma, Alameda and Solano counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Southern California, the city of Los Angeles has also announced its intention to pause the use of this vaccine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco COVID Command Center informed through its own statement that out of the 33,000 doses of the J&J vaccine that the city has administered so far, there are no reported cases of blood clotting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As this adverse event is reported to be extremely rare with just over six reported cases nationwide, we do not believe there is cause for immediate alarm,” city officials said, adding that anyone who has received the J&J vaccine should contact their care provider if they experience severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain or shortness of breath within three weeks after vaccination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only 5% of the doses San Francisco received this week are of the J&J vaccine. Similarly, other counties have indicated that this vaccine makes up a very small proportion of their supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Marin County, J&J doses account for less than 3% of the county’s cumulative vaccine allocation, according to health officials. The county expects to use Pfizer and Moderna doses instead in its efforts to vaccinate harder-to-reach groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, Santa Clara County said in its own statement that it “anticipates being able to cover all scheduled appointments with the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"San Francisco COVID Command Center\"]‘The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines … are proven to be highly effective at preventing hospitalization or death from COVID-19.’[/pullquote]Contra Costa County, for its part, has made it clear that it does not plan to cancel any vaccination appointments, and residents who have already made an appointment should still show up to their vaccination time. The county also shared that it does not know of any cases of blood clots connected to the COVID-19 vaccines it has already administered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the counties were clear in pointing out the safety of the other two vaccines. “The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines … are proven to be highly effective at preventing hospitalization or death from COVID-19,” said the San Francisco COVID Command Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pause on J&J vaccines may now make it more difficult for public health officials to promote the use of this type of vaccine.

Federal officials recommended pausing use of the vaccine until they know more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 6.8 million doses of the J&J vaccine have been administered in the U.S., the vast majority with no or mild side effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='vaccines,vaccine']A CDC committee will meet Wednesday to discuss the cases, and the FDA has also launched an investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State epidemiologist Dr. Erica Pan also said California will convene a regional scientific safety workgroup to review information provided by the federal government.

She said the symptoms are different from the mild flu-like ones that many people experience after getting a coronavirus vaccine dose. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know that the information we are providing today will be very concerning to Americans who already received the Johnson & Johnson or Jannsen vaccine,\" she acknowledged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) would meet on Wednesday. Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock, who moderated the virtual briefing, said the review would likely take \"a matter of days.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schuchat and Marks recommended that individuals who had already received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine who experience severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain or shortness of breath within three weeks of getting the shot contact their health care provider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11855623 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/Vaccination-Prep-1020x680.jpg']Following the recommended pause in vaccination with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, Jeffrey Zients, the White House coronavirus coordinator, said, \"we are working now with our state and federal partners to get anyone scheduled for a J&J vaccine quickly rescheduled for a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marks said the joint CDC/FDA recommendation was \"not a mandate.\" He said that on a case-by-case basis, a doctor and patient could make a determination whether the J&J vaccine was appropriate. \"We are not going to stop a provider from administering the vaccine,\" he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The New York state health commissioner, Dr. Howard Zucker, said the state would suspend its use of the vaccine pending results of the federal investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.jnj.com/johnson-johnson-statement-on-covid-19-vaccine\">statement\u003c/a> sent to NPR, Johnson & Johnson said it was \"aware of an extremely rare disorder involving people with blood clots in combination with low platelets in a small number of individuals who have received our COVID-19 vaccine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have been working closely with medical experts and health authorities, and we strongly support the open communication of this information to healthcare professionals and the public,\" the company said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson & Johnson said it was also reviewing the cases with European health authorities and that in the meantime, it will \"proactively delay the rollout of our vaccine in Europe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 6.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine have already been administered in the U.S., alongside tens of millions of doses of vaccines produced by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

Last week, the European Union's drug regulator said the benefits of the vaccine outweigh its risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marks called the situation with the J&J vaccine that is currently under review was \"very similar\" to the one experienced with AstraZeneca's vaccine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that among the people who've received 180 million doses of vaccine by Pfizer and Moderna, no cases of CVST with low blood platelets have been seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recommended pause in U.S. inoculations using the Johnson & Johnson vaccine could further complicate the immunization drive against COVID-19, which has killed more than 562,000 people in the U.S., amid an uptick in new coronavirus infections and \"vaccine hesitancy\" among certain groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zients, the White House coronavirus coordinator, said the vaccine distribution pause \"will not have a significant impact\" on the Biden administration's vaccine plan because the Johnson & Johnson doses make up \"less than 5 percent of the recorded shots in arms in the United States to date.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Over the last few weeks, we have made available more than 25 million doses of Pfizer and Moderna each week, and in fact this week we will make available 28 million doses of these vaccines,\" Zients said in a \u003ca href=\"https://files.slack.com/files-pri/T031C6G0U-F01UUUWG3CY/statement_from_jeff_zients__white_house_covid-19_response_coordinator_on_johnson___johnson_vaccine\">statement.\u003c/a> \"This is more than enough supply to continue the current pace of vaccinations of 3 million shots per day, and meet the President's goal of 200 million shots by his 100th day in office — and continue on to reach every adult who wants to be vaccinated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amid manufacturing issues at a facility in Baltimore, Johnson & Johnson has had difficulty ramping up production.

A \u003ca href=\"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-83577-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent study\u003c/a> out of Stanford University suggests that exposure to that kind of smoke or air pollution can harm children’s immune and cardiovascular systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dr. Mary Prunicki\u003c/strong> is the lead author of that study, as well as the director of air pollution and health research at Stanford’s Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy & Asthma Research. \u003cstrong>Danielle Venton\u003c/strong> is a science reporter for KQED. They both spoke with KQED’s Brian Watt recently about children and smoke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What did your study find? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Mary Prunicki:\u003c/em> Our study looked at over 200 children that live in the Central Valley. These kids were 6-8 years old, living in Fresno, which is consistently one of the top four cities for poor air quality in the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We looked at the blood and the levels of pollution these children were exposed to at different points in time. We found that the immune system showed signs of being dysregulated, with different balances of immune cells than we typically would see in a healthy individual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also found that blood pressure was associated with exposure to pollution, specifically diastolic blood pressure, which is the bottom number. While this is interesting, we’ll need to replicate it with future studies, because the few studies that have come out about children and blood pressure have been relatively inconsistent. But we’ll certainly be anxious to see where this goes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How long do kids need to be exposed to bad pollution or wildfire smoke to be affected?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>MP: \u003c/em>Unfortunately, the impact can occur in as short as a day. We know that chronic exposure certainly impacts health, but we found associations with even one day of pollution exposure. That is certainly startling, especially for this age group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What can we do to protect children? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>MP:\u003c/em> When we’re talking about wildfire smoke, unfortunately we need to keep them indoors as much as possible. If the kids need to go outside and burn off some energy, it’s always good to check the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1930023/map-heres-your-daily-air-quality-report-for-the-bay-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AQI level\u003c/a> and try to pick a time of day when it seems to be the lowest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they do go outside, try to get them to not be as physically active as they normally would. If they have respiratory conditions like asthma, make sure that their inhalers are refilled and ready to go. Talk to their school about how they are planning to handle the exposure to the smoke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, support prescribed burning, which will reduce overall our exposure to wildfire smoke in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In California, we talk a lot about ways to make wildfires less smoky. Does that mean doing more prescribed burns?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Danielle Venton: \u003c/em>It does.

A \u003ca href=\"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-83577-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent study\u003c/a> out of Stanford University suggests that exposure to that kind of smoke or air pollution can harm children’s immune and cardiovascular systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dr. Mary Prunicki\u003c/strong> is the lead author of that study, as well as the director of air pollution and health research at Stanford’s Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy & Asthma Research. \u003cstrong>Danielle Venton\u003c/strong> is a science reporter for KQED. They both spoke with KQED’s Brian Watt recently about children and smoke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What did your study find? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Mary Prunicki:\u003c/em> Our study looked at over 200 children that live in the Central Valley. These kids were 6-8 years old, living in Fresno, which is consistently one of the top four cities for poor air quality in the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We looked at the blood and the levels of pollution these children were exposed to at different points in time. We found that the immune system showed signs of being dysregulated, with different balances of immune cells than we typically would see in a healthy individual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also found that blood pressure was associated with exposure to pollution, specifically diastolic blood pressure, which is the bottom number. While this is interesting, we’ll need to replicate it with future studies, because the few studies that have come out about children and blood pressure have been relatively inconsistent. But we’ll certainly be anxious to see where this goes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How long do kids need to be exposed to bad pollution or wildfire smoke to be affected?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>MP: \u003c/em>Unfortunately, the impact can occur in as short as a day. We know that chronic exposure certainly impacts health, but we found associations with even one day of pollution exposure. That is certainly startling, especially for this age group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What can we do to protect children? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>MP:\u003c/em> When we’re talking about wildfire smoke, unfortunately we need to keep them indoors as much as possible. If the kids need to go outside and burn off some energy, it’s always good to check the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1930023/map-heres-your-daily-air-quality-report-for-the-bay-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AQI level\u003c/a> and try to pick a time of day when it seems to be the lowest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they do go outside, try to get them to not be as physically active as they normally would. If they have respiratory conditions like asthma, make sure that their inhalers are refilled and ready to go. Talk to their school about how they are planning to handle the exposure to the smoke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, support prescribed burning, which will reduce overall our exposure to wildfire smoke in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In California, we talk a lot about ways to make wildfires less smoky. Does that mean doing more prescribed burns?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Danielle Venton: \u003c/em>It does. In California, there’s about 15 million acres of land that are overgrown and at risk for wildfires. Those 15 million acres need some sort of management to be brought back into balance and to become more fire resilient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best, the least expensive, the most scalable tool for that is managed fire.

"content": "\u003cp class=\"p1\">Sacramento, at least, is excited about Washington’s new climate direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cstrong>Jared Blumenfeld\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Wade Crowfoot\u003c/strong> head California’s environmental protection and natural resources agencies, respectively. Last week, they discussed with KQED’s Kevin Stark what the change from the Trump to Biden administrations might mean for California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Blumenfeld says he and other California environmental leaders are “euphoric” about a flurry of Biden administration executive orders resetting U.S. climate policy and tearing up the environmental agenda of the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re coming out of a hellish period in American environmental politics,” Blumenfeld said. “That euphoria really is based on the fact that the president is taking immediate action, and climate change is one of his top four priorities with equity and the pandemic and the economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote]The heads of California’s natural resources and environmental protection agencies discuss climate policy, wildfire mitigation, fracking, and cap-and-trade in the context of the new president. [/pullquote]Biden has placed a temporary hold on new oil and gas leasing on federal lands, stating that his administration will seek to cut emissions from fossil fuels while doubling energy production from offshore wind turbines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His order to U.S. agencies to review fuel efficiency standards will be one of the most impactful changes for California, initiating a bureaucratic process that Blumenfeld hopes will establish a set of federal cleaner car rules that match California’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101872390/california-strikes-emissions-deal-with-major-carmakers\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">agreement \u003c/span>\u003c/a>with major auto manufacturers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s order to triple protected land and waterways across the country should also infuse the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management with badly needed funds. Crowfoot says he hopes Biden will use the money to rapidly increase prescribed burns and other ecologically driven fire-mitigation measures across the nearly 19 million acres of federal forest land in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“It’s a new day of partnership between the state and federal government protecting our communities and natural places from catastrophic wildfire,” Crowfoot said. “I’m convinced we have good partners on the ground in the federal agencies in California, but they’ve been starved for resources from Washington, D.C., and we’re hopeful that’s going to change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">The following excerpts from the conversation have been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Newsom recently asked Biden to reissue the state’s \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1947538/can-he-do-that-lawyers-doubt-trump-can-kill-californias-clean-air-powers\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>waiver to set its own clean car rules\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cb>, which was rescinded by the Trump administration. Do you expect Biden will grant the waiver?\u003c/b>\u003cspan class=\"s2\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003ci>Blumenfeld\u003c/i>: The president has talked to the governor explicitly about this issue, and it’s very top of mind for us to resolve, simply because it’s such a big part of California’s greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">California received special authorization more than 50 years ago, when the Clean Air Act was first created and signed into law, by of all people President Nixon. And the reason for that is L.A. smog was so bad that we knew we needed standards that went further than the rest of the nation. That’s continued year in, year out, as 50% of the state’s emissions are coming from the transportation sector. If we have any chance of getting rid of our dependency on fossil fuels, which we have to in the climate battle, we need to reduce demand. And that demand comes from vehicles. The Trump administration put on hold anything that California wanted to do. We sued them and that’s still working its way through the courts. But now we can leapfrog all that kind of ridiculousness and go right to working with the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">We have to have standards for new cars between now and 2026 because the Trump administration diluted those. And then [the federal government] needs to align with California’s goal of all new vehicles by 2035 being zero emission. This isn’t a choice at this point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Will California’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1945609/california-and-carmakers-reach-clean-vehicle-agreement-rebuking-trump-administration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">agreement\u003c/a> with the car companies to abide by tougher standards on tailpipe emissions than Trump\u003cem> wanted\u003c/em> be the foundation for a new federal standard? \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003ci>Blumenfeld\u003c/i>: We had Obama standards that harmonized California and the rest of the federal government. Trump then blew those up. We now need to come back to the table and work out what those national standards are. And we were really thrilled that folks like Ford and Honda and BMW and VW said, “We’re going to sign an agreement with California that no matter what the Trump administration says, we’re going to have national standards for the parts of the country that may not even care about this issue; we’re going to still give them cars that meet the California standards.” That’s what’s in place. We’re hoping that GM, Toyota, Chrysler and others will join us with that framework and move forward together with the Biden administration, to come out with one standard. A lot of the people who helped construct that are now in the Biden administration. We look forward to collaborating to solve this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p4\">\u003cb>Secretary Crowfoot, you said you want partnerships between states and the federal government on forest management and wildfire mitigation. What would be your top priority for this?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003ci>Crowfoot\u003c/i>: In California, our federal agencies own and manage 57% of our forests. We are not going to make a dent protecting California against catastrophic wildfire without scaled-up funding and priority from the federal government. And I think President Biden and Vice President Harris have made it very clear that they’re going to be much more proactive partners than the last administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The top priority is to fund the U.S. Forest Service to actually do proactive forest resilience work. In recent decades, most of the Forest Service funding has been raided every year for fire response, [leaving] less and less on actually doing things like prescribed burns and ecologically sensitive treatments in the forest. And so we have to ensure that the federal government actually funds these federal agencies to get in there and do the ecologically based forest-health work that is needed, or else we’re just going to spend more and more responding. Federal funding will be an important indication of the new administration’s priority to help California combat wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">\u003cb>Newsom has called on legislators to develop legislation banning new fracking permits, but no proposal has yet emerged. Is the Newsom administration working on this?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003ci>Crowfoot:\u003c/i> This fall, the governor made clear that he does not see a future for fracking in California. And he explained that he would support legislation to phase it out. It’s our understanding that legislative members are developing a proposal to phase out fracking in California. And we look forward to talking to them and working with them ultimately to meet the vision that the governor set forth this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Advocates are calling on the governor to set a date to phase out fossil fuels. Will that be part of any proposal that emerges?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cem>Crowfoot\u003c/em>: Fossil fuel extraction in California was at its height in 1986, and it’s been reduced every year for the last few decades. At this point, we produce about 40% of that peak use. At the same time, our consumers use over 600 million barrels of oil each year in the form of gasoline to power cars and trucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">It is critical that we reduce our reliance and ultimately eliminate our reliance on fossil fuels. If no other barrel of oil came out of the ground in California but we don’t change our habits, we’ll simply be importing more oil from other parts of the world. We need to reduce and ultimately eliminate our demand if we’re going to meet the climate challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">We’ve been clear that as we phase out our demand for fossil fuels, we will phase out the supply in our state. We anticipate this will happen in coming years, as we march toward the 2045 carbon neutrality goal. I do anticipate that there will be a clear trajectory for the phasing out of both demand and supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">\u003cspan class=\"s3\">\u003cb>Secretary Blumenfeld, in a letter to state senators you said the opportunity to revisit the cap-and-trade program, which has been criticized by the environmental justice community, exists as part of updating CARB’s Scoping Plan. How would you like to see cap-and-trade changed? \u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Blumenfeld\u003c/em>: The cap-and-trade program is a market-based mechanism that basically does two things. Year after year, the amount of carbon that can exist under the cap goes down — that’s how you reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The second part is the trading of allowances in a market system, so that there’s an actual price on carbon; a lot of people talk nationally about the importance of putting a price on carbon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">There are two criticisms of cap-and-trade. One is that there’s an overreliance on [the allowance] mechanism. So moving forward we need to do more regulation and less market-based. The second valid critique is related to environmental justice, where you’re living in\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>low-income communities of color and say, “Well, someone shouldn’t be allowed to pay to emit more pollution in my community.” We’re going to look at both in terms of how we get to our 2030 targets. Then we have a state goal of getting to carbon neutrality by 2045; cap-and-trade will play a role but we all anticipate it will play a slightly smaller role than we originally thought. And we need to make sure that those equity concerns are brought to the forefront.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Crowfoot says he hopes Biden will use the money to rapidly increase prescribed burns and other ecologically driven fire-mitigation measures across the nearly 19 million acres of federal forest land in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“It’s a new day of partnership between the state and federal government protecting our communities and natural places from catastrophic wildfire,” Crowfoot said. “I’m convinced we have good partners on the ground in the federal agencies in California, but they’ve been starved for resources from Washington, D.C., and we’re hopeful that’s going to change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">The following excerpts from the conversation have been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Newsom recently asked Biden to reissue the state’s \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1947538/can-he-do-that-lawyers-doubt-trump-can-kill-californias-clean-air-powers\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>waiver to set its own clean car rules\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cb>, which was rescinded by the Trump administration.

And the reason for that is L.A. smog was so bad that we knew we needed standards that went further than the rest of the nation. That’s continued year in, year out, as 50% of the state’s emissions are coming from the transportation sector. If we have any chance of getting rid of our dependency on fossil fuels, which we have to in the climate battle, we need to reduce demand. And that demand comes from vehicles. The Trump administration put on hold anything that California wanted to do. We sued them and that’s still working its way through the courts. But now we can leapfrog all that kind of ridiculousness and go right to working with the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">We have to have standards for new cars between now and 2026 because the Trump administration diluted those. And then [the federal government] needs to align with California’s goal of all new vehicles by 2035 being zero emission. This isn’t a choice at this point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Will California’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1945609/california-and-carmakers-reach-clean-vehicle-agreement-rebuking-trump-administration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">agreement\u003c/a> with the car companies to abide by tougher standards on tailpipe emissions than Trump\u003cem> wanted\u003c/em> be the foundation for a new federal standard? \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003ci>Blumenfeld\u003c/i>: We had Obama standards that harmonized California and the rest of the federal government. Trump then blew those up. We now need to come back to the table and work out what those national standards are. And we were really thrilled that folks like Ford and Honda and BMW and VW said, “We’re going to sign an agreement with California that no matter what the Trump administration says, we’re going to have national standards for the parts of the country that may not even care about this issue; we’re going to still give them cars that meet the California standards.” That’s what’s in place. We’re hoping that GM, Toyota, Chrysler and others will join us with that framework and move forward together with the Biden administration, to come out with one standard. A lot of the people who helped construct that are now in the Biden administration. We look forward to collaborating to solve this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

What would be your top priority for this?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003ci>Crowfoot\u003c/i>: In California, our federal agencies own and manage 57% of our forests. We are not going to make a dent protecting California against catastrophic wildfire without scaled-up funding and priority from the federal government. And I think President Biden and Vice President Harris have made it very clear that they’re going to be much more proactive partners than the last administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The top priority is to fund the U.S. Forest Service to actually do proactive forest resilience work. In recent decades, most of the Forest Service funding has been raided every year for fire response, [leaving] less and less on actually doing things like prescribed burns and ecologically sensitive treatments in the forest. And so we have to ensure that the federal government actually funds these federal agencies to get in there and do the ecologically based forest-health work that is needed, or else we’re just going to spend more and more responding. Federal funding will be an important indication of the new administration’s priority to help California combat wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">\u003cb>Newsom has called on legislators to develop legislation banning new fracking permits, but no proposal has yet emerged. Is the Newsom administration working on this?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003ci>Crowfoot:\u003c/i> This fall, the governor made clear that he does not see a future for fracking in California. And he explained that he would support legislation to phase it out. It’s our understanding that legislative members are developing a proposal to phase out fracking in California. And we look forward to talking to them and working with them ultimately to meet the vision that the governor set forth this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Advocates are calling on the governor to set a date to phase out fossil fuels. Will that be part of any proposal that emerges?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cem>Crowfoot\u003c/em>: Fossil fuel extraction in California was at its height in 1986, and it’s been reduced every year for the last few decades. At this point, we produce about 40% of that peak use. At the same time, our consumers use over 600 million barrels of oil each year in the form of gasoline to power cars and trucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">It is critical that we reduce our reliance and ultimately eliminate our reliance on fossil fuels. If no other barrel of oil came out of the ground in California but we don’t change our habits, we’ll simply be importing more oil from other parts of the world. We need to reduce and ultimately eliminate our demand if we’re going to meet the climate challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">We’ve been clear that as we phase out our demand for fossil fuels, we will phase out the supply in our state. We anticipate this will happen in coming years, as we march toward the 2045 carbon neutrality goal. I do anticipate that there will be a clear trajectory for the phasing out of both demand and supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">\u003cspan class=\"s3\">\u003cb>Secretary Blumenfeld, in a letter to state senators you said the opportunity to revisit the cap-and-trade program, which has been criticized by the environmental justice community, exists as part of updating CARB’s Scoping Plan. How would you like to see cap-and-trade changed? \u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Blumenfeld\u003c/em>: The cap-and-trade program is a market-based mechanism that basically does two things. Year after year, the amount of carbon that can exist under the cap goes down — that’s how you reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The second part is the trading of allowances in a market system, so that there’s an actual price on carbon; a lot of people talk nationally about the importance of putting a price on carbon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">There are two criticisms of cap-and-trade. One is that there’s an overreliance on [the allowance] mechanism. So moving forward we need to do more regulation and less market-based. The second valid critique is related to environmental justice, where you’re living in\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>low-income communities of color and say, “Well, someone shouldn’t be allowed to pay to emit more pollution in my community.” We’re going to look at both in terms of how we get to our 2030 targets. Then we have a state goal of getting to carbon neutrality by 2045; cap-and-trade will play a role but we all anticipate it will play a slightly smaller role than we originally thought. And we need to make sure that those equity concerns are brought to the forefront.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
